"Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway." -John Wayne

\xa0

We are witnessing story after story of Courage and Bravery in the Ukraine.\xa0

Courage is the ability to confront something painful, difficult, or dangerous despite any fear.\xa0 Courage is a choice.\xa0 A person feels the fear, pain, or danger, but chooses to persevere anyway.\xa0

Last week, on 24FEB22, two Russian Battleships assaulted a Ukrainian held position on Snake Island, in the Black Sea off the coast of the mainland.

\xa0

Russian Battleship:

"We are a Russian battleship. We suggest that you disarm and surrender, to avoid bloodshed and unnecessary casualties. Otherwise, you will be bombed. Snake island, we are a Russian battleship, I repeat. We suggest that you disarm and surrender. Otherwise, you will be bombed. Do you copy?"

\xa0

Ukrainian Position: "Russian battleship, go F*ck yourself."

\xa0

The Ukrainian position was ultimately destroyed.

\xa0

May the 13 Ukrainian soldiers rest in peace.

\xa0

Could you imagine being faced with that dilemma?\xa0 Would you surrender or hold the line?

\xa0

Courage is a pillar of high performance and we often fear many things in life.\xa0 A situation like this makes me realize that some of the fear I face in life are really inflated by my subconscious.\xa0

\xa0

Much of what we fear is b.s.\xa0\xa0

We fear judgement of others.\xa0

We fear failure.\xa0

We fear if we do that thing and look foolish our reputation will suffer.\xa0\xa0

We fear the hardship of doing something new.\xa0

We fear that if we rise up to the challenge and do the work, our life may not be better.\xa0

\xa0

High Performers look at fear a little differently and take action anyway. The world's highest performers act courageously in facing their challenges and in chasing their dreams.

\xa0

This is what I help people a do as a high performance coach. I help people discern their real fear from the inflated fear, and then together, we formulate courses of action to overcome the real fear and execute the goal.
